Chapter 747: Chapter 747: So Generous_1

Khodorkovsky was indeed startled, that was the Russian Gas Industry Group!

A powerful energy giant that could rival the Yukos Group!

Although in the business world, perhaps the Russian Gas Industry Group is not as famous as the Yukos Group, anyone who really understands the industry knows that the strength of the Russian Gas Industry Group is no less than that of the Yukos Group.

Especially in terms of strategic importance, the Russian Gas Industry Group is even more significant than the Yukos Group.

After all, there are many oil-producing countries, and the market is oversupplied.

As for natural gas, the Russians have the largest reserves and output in the world.

What’s more, Europe is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas, and the gas from Russia accounts for half of Europe’s market share!

This is a matter of national economy and people’s livelihood, and it can be said to be even more important than oil.

That’s why the government made every effort to consolidate all the natural gas resources in the country and set up the Russian Gas Industry Group, keeping it firmly under government control.

So why would they suddenly give up now?

...

"Haha, uncle, how did you know? But it’s not just me investing, but a joint venture with the Constantin family of Petersburg into the Russian Gas Industry. We take ten percent of the shares together, and I personally take five percent," said Wang Ye, without the slightest trace of concealment.

Khodorkovsky nodded thoughtfully and commented.

"Five percent...

The shareholding ratio is acceptable, not too much, not too little, you can advance or retreat as you need.

You, Misha, have risen too quickly in these two years. Sometimes it is not good to show your talents too much.

If you plan to take more than ten percent of the shares this time, I would even advise you to give up.

But if it’s only five percent, then it doesn’t matter that much."

Wang Ye too had similar considerations, agreeing to join hands with the Constantin family, this was not a rash move.

However, it seems that Khodorkovsky did not realize the connection of the Constantin family, so Wang Ye merely reminded him and said, "This is mainly initiated by Constantin, I’m just following his investment. Don’t you know Constantin, Uncle? He’s the one in the communications industry."

Khodorkovsky was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized, "Oh, it’s him! Now I understand..."

Obviously, Khodorkovsky realized the background of the Constantin family, it had a "direct line" to the Kremlin!

Shaking his head, Khodorkovsky laughed wryly, "You kid, I don’t know whether to call you nature’s darling or you’re just damn lucky. It seems all the good things are coming your way."

Wang Ye smiled shyly and modestly replied, "It’s all thanks to the care and love of uncles and brothers. I just met more people who helped me. But most importantly, I need to thank you, Uncle, for providing me with such a big stage, so I have a chance to meet more people."

These were Wang Ye’s sincere words, without a hint of insincerity!

Admittedly, with his "past life" memory and experience, even without the help of many influential people, Wang Ye could still rise high and surely become a billionaire without a problem after struggling for ten years or so.

But if it weren’t for his "affinity" with Khodorkovsky, he would only be struggling in the business world, and the growth would be slower.

It would be impossible for him to appear in the Russian political arena, let alone sit in such high positions as now!

Not to mention that in just over two years, Wang Ye has achieved what he even dared not think of when he was "reborn".

...

Pleased, Khodorkovsky patted Wang Ye on the shoulder. It was clear to him that he hadn’t made a mistake in judgment. Misha, the young man, still knew how to be grateful and had not forgotten his roots.

"Even if others want to help you, you must be worth helping.

For old-timers like us, seeing a young genius appear, especially one who is close to us, how could we not lend a hand?

At the end of the day, we are helping you now.

When you grow up, you might have to help us, haha."

The two had always been frank when talking, and rarely beat around the bush.

After all, they were "close relatives", and there was no need for circumlocution.

So Wang Ye got straight to the point and said, "This acquisition of the Russian Gas Industry Group, I will need your help, uncle. I don’t have that much money."

As if he had anticipated this, Khodorkovsky said without hesitation, "Just say how much you need."

"Twenty...no, actually thirty billion dollars," Wang Ye answered.

Before Khodorkovsky could respond, Wang Ye quickly explained, "Twenty billion dollars are for investing in the Russian Gas Industry Group. The other billion dollars, I am planning to acquire a Premier League club recently. This is led by Uncle A Bu. He also acquired a club, in London."

Khodorkovsky furrowed his brows, asking puzzledly, "Does investing in a football club make money? To my knowledge, there are very few football clubs worldwide that make profit. And even if they do make money, with that kind of return on investment, this money would generate a better return in any other industry than in football."

It’s true that if one considers it strictly from an investment point of view, investing in the football industry is one of the worst choices.

Especially in recent years, with the global economy in the doldrums, many top clubs are struggling and the shareholders are injecting more money.

That’s just a labor of love...

But Wang Ye has never made such a losing deal, whether in the real economy, investing in Internet companies, or even in the stock market, Khodorkovsky understood and believed that Wang Ye would not lose money.

But investing in football, he really could not understand why...

Wang Ye laughed and explained, "Uncle, don’t forget, football is the sport with the greatest influence worldwide.

In Western countries, the owner of a top sports club, that status is a ticket to high society!

It’s also the best business card.

Why does Uncle A Bu want to buy a football club? He is preparing for the future.

Although I do not need to consider so far ahead, leaving a backdoor is always right, and I believe that this investment will not lose money.

In the next few years, the global economy will turn around and the sports industry will develop vigorously.

Now might be time to buy at the bottom of the market, the price is not too high..."

After listening to Wang Ye’s explanation, even though Khodorkovsky still didn’t quite agree with him, at least he didn’t object anymore.

He just nodded and said, ""No problem, the money I got from selling Yukos shares is still sitting in the bank untouched. I’ll have the bank people contact you later and transfer thirty billion dollars to your account."

That’s the spirit!

There was no mention at all of when Wang Ye would have to pay back the money or ask Wang Ye to mortgage assets.

Wang Ye was a bit dazed at the moment, he had an illusion.

Was he actually "Mikhail" from the beginning, Khodorkovsky’s biological nephew?

And was his so-called "past life", his "Wang Ye" identity, just a dream...?
